School life isn’t always easy to navigate, so anything that can make things easier for a student is welcome (unless it’s illegal, of course). Luckily, with the aid of technology, lots of students can access apps and products that help to make every aspect of a student’s life more comfortable and seamless.
Whether you’re trying to increase your productivity, train your mind, manage your time or stay organized, there’s an app for you. Check out a few of my top picks:
Grammarly

Have you ever received your assignment or school project from your lecturer, only to discover that you made some ridiculous grammatical errors? Well, you don’t have to bother about that anymore with Grammarly. It’s an excellent tool that uses AI and natural language processing to help you write better. It checks and proofreads your documents, notifying you of any grammatical or spelling errors, as well as sentence structure issues. It also has a plagiarism detection feature and provides suggestions to improve your writing, too.
OneNote

OneNote is a cool software from Microsoft that helps to take your “note-taking” to another level. It allows you type notes or record audio, sketch ideas, organize your notes and even share them with others to view and contribute. It’s a great tool to help you gather your thoughts, school notes and more. OneNote also puts all your records on the cloud so that you can access them from any device.
Other incredible note-taking apps are EverNote, GoodNotes and Notability

If your parents complain that you spend way too much time on your phone, they’ll undoubtedly be glad this app exists. Forest is a great app that aids your productivity by helping you put your phone aside so you can focus on more important things. Its feature is quite unconventional- whenever you want to focus on a project or something important, you plant a virtual tree on the app, which grows while you focus on your work. If you get distracted and leave the app, your tree dies. (That sounds weirdly interesting, right? It would be best if you gave it a try)
EasyBib
